reminder that the bcrypt hash function ignores input above a certain length! so if you do bcrypt(username || password) for some reason, a sufficiently long username will make it accept any password. to fix this you can sha256 the input first.
Okta allowing login bypass for any usernames with 52+ characters is insane

A subset of C kernel developers just seem determined to make the lives of the Rust maintainers as difficult as possible. They don't see Rust as having value and would rather it just goes away.

last one!
Josh shows us his and Amy's recreation of Dial-a-Poem, permanently installed at the Recurse Center.

I will be using my take-over-y powers to tell you to go vote for Nolen's projects!! (one million checkboxes, stranger video)
we don't have favorite children here at Recurse, they're all beautiful and great (and not children? that's weird?)
but Nolen.... Nolen we really love. x
still a few days to vote in the tiny awards! there are a bunch of really great sites on here - delighted that two of mine (stranger video and one million checkboxes) made it onto the list. go check out some cool stuff :)

... and now, a word from our take over-er, aka me aka Greg:
what is the Recurse Center..?
it is the most inspiring place I’ve ever attended. it has every single best trait from hackathons, meetups, conferences, maker labs, hacker spaces, r&d labs, art studios and writer’s room.
